Dissecting the Sterilizations of Native American Women in the 1970's In the old days, genocide used to be so simple. Such things as biological warfare used to keep Indians warm with small pox infested blankets furnished by the United States government, and the only thing barren and infertile was the land set aside for reservations. In the 1970s, genocide became a little more complex. Biological warfare invaded the reproductive rights of Native American women, making their wombs as barren and

Women in colonial America played revolutionary roles. They played roles that were always changing. “All men are created equal.” It’s the basis in which America was built, but what about the women?

Slave women had the hardest role to play in Colonial American women. They started out having to do unskilled work, such as building

Native American Women Make Efforts to Sustain their Languages and Cultures Over centuries from when the first Europeans arrived to the Americas, the Native American populations have drastically decreased. The diminishing population of Native Americans is a crucial warning that the culture will potentially go extinct. However, many individuals have taken efforts to preserve their traditions and keep them alive during the future generations. Here are some inspiring Native American women who strive

against women in retrospect to the Native American population. The fear of being a victim of assault as a young women is prominent within the society in which we live today. However, there is some relief in the fact that there are resources available at my disposal if I was to experience assault. Yet, there is a large portion of women that do not have that reassurance, and the likelihood of them experiencing assault is even greater than my own.

that needs to be heard out, especially for Native American women. It is estimated that over thirty percent of women in the general United States population have experienced domestic abuse and an even higher percentage for just sexual assault, many of which are based on women of color, which primarily consists of natives. This problem has been around for too long and there’s still limited resources for abuse victims, which needs to change. Too many women are put through abuse which could be prevented

For many centuries there has been millions of violence against women incidents. In, “Safety for Native Women: Vama and American Indian Tribes” it talks about the abuse American Indian Women suffered. The trial and non-tribal community both questioned why violence against American Indian women were more common than violence against other women? One of the reason is because of their wealth. It’s very few people that will care about the well-being of the poor. Another good reason is that there was no

Out of the three groups, women, Native Americans and African Americans, I believe that the Native Americans gained the least in comparison to the women and the African Americans from the American victory in the Revolutionary war. During the war women had gained a lot more than the Indians or the African Americans.

m. Tuesday morning, and Brittanee Ramallo walks into an African-American women’s literature class with her khakis, button down shirt, tie and vest on.

Ramallo, a senior studying integrated language arts, shares her views on family, racism, the justice system and students in the heated debates in class. Behind every word she speaks is passion. Ramallo, a New York native, moved to Kent, Ohio to pursue her love in criminal justice, but

Every Revolution Gives Birth to Another When Americans look back at the ways in which African American women and Native American women as recently as not much more than a century ago, they might well be shocked at the ways in which their lives were limited by both legal and cultural restrictions. Since then they have made significant progress towards equality, although both groups lag behind other American demographic groups in terms of life expectancy, chronic disease, work opportunities, wages

readings was that they were treated more as an object rather than a person regardless of their race, class, or ethnicity. The cases and experiences of women such as Sarah Taylor, Celia the slave, Pocahontas, and Native American women from Carolina being objectified by their society will be used to support this notion. One of the examples that women were treated as an object was the case of Sarah Taylor, a white indentured servant, as she was treated as a property by her master, the people in her
